TEA towels are great but they don’t always do the job when it comes to lifting hot pans, so we’ve found some of the best cheap oven gloves for you to choose from.

Not only are they usually a lot thicker than a tea towel in order to save our fingers from those dreaded burns, but they also come in a multitude of colours and patterns.

After all, isn’t accessorising your kitchen the fun part?

But how do you know a good oven glove from a bad one? Well, you can always count on a silicone design for amazing heat protection, while cotton versions often come quilted or with extra-thick padding and a steam and grease barrier.

Some double oven gloves are longer than others, making them easier to manoeuvre, while the length of a single mitt could save your wrist or arm from any burns, so it’s worth checking the length is what you want before you buy.

Then you’ll need to decide whether you want a double oven glove or a single mitt – some people prefer having a ‘thumb’ to their glove, while others are happy to have their whole hands enclosed.

2. Best cheap oven gloves with fingers

If putting on oven gloves or mitts makes you feel as though your hands are bandaged up like a mummy’s then you’re going to love these.

More like traditional winter gloves, the individual fingers of this design allow much more movement and ease of use – although they take a fractionally longer time to slip hands into and we’ll admit they’re not the most glamorous.

Not convinced they’ll keep your hands safe from the heat? Well, how about if we told you they’re made from Meta-Aramid, which is the same material used to protect firefighters?

And they are effective up to a scorching 350ºC, which is much hotter than most ovens.

The icing on the cake? You can choose from a medium or large, so you won’t have to try and fit into a small size.
